Martin-
It appears that the mediation committee would *still* like to be the sole administrators and moderators of the mediation message board
Admin status on phpBB is different from moderator status; it allows the creation and deletion of entire boards, the management of permissions on all boards, changing the languages, styles etc. and other far-reaching settings. It inevitably comes with the ability to moderate any discussion board.
This status has to be limited, and it has to be limited to users who are technically able and willing to administrate the board. I volunteered for that job when the board was created, because I am personally interested in phpBB and familiar with it.
Of course the ability to moderate forums does not have to be *exercised* if there are actual moderators to do the job. So I'm all for the mediation team moderating their own board and have in fact immediately made sannse a moderator.
After her repeated personal attacks against me, I must admit that I have strong reservations about Anthere as a moderator and a mediator, but if Jimbo explicitly asks me to I will certainly make her a moderator as well.
Regards,
Erik
